Ben-ammi

36 Thus both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

37 The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites of today.

The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites of today.
